would a proper friend do this?

Question

a few days ago, one of my sort-of good friends started being weird toward me. she hasnt acted like this before and if i'm completely honest, it's startin to annoy me now -
she knows i'm sensitive about my accent but she started taking the mick, saying things like "please say that again, didnt get what you were sayin" then laughing about it as if its the funniest thing ever.
the reason i'm sensitive about my accent is coz it's quite hard to understand and its a mixture of different accents put together so i usually have to repeat myself to practically everyone who i'm talking to. i don't have speech problems, it's just the way i talk. plus, some people have been racist toward me coz of my accent.
i know full and well that she understands what i'm sayin, i just dont understand why she's being a cow over somethin she knows i'm sensitive about.

Answer 1

she`s not at all a friend. friends dont do that. she`s doing that just to annoy u but dont fall into her trap. ask her y she is acting strange lately. if she says u did something wrong excuse yourself and tell she would have simply told u and that next time she should just tell u. but if she has no excuse and she continues doing it tel her whats in ur ur mind. tell her u had never thought she could be so wicked.
the many people out there u could make friends with
wish the best 4 u

Answer 2

There are two possible answers. The first one is that she is not being a good friend and she's making fun of you. The 2nd one is that she has a sudden crush on you and she thinks you're accent is attractive. I don't know her well but usually if a girl likes a guy they act totally different to that person. Since you know her find out which one of these discriptions she fits. If she doesn't like you then just talk to her about it and tell her how you feel. If she doesn't chnage then just forget about it. I know you have other friends. Hope everything works out.

Answer 3

aww hun if i was u i would cut her off! she obviously isnt a friend at all let alone a good one. if someone knows you are sensitive about something then they use that knowledge to belittle you they arent worth knowing.
does she do it in front of certain ppl, is she trying to impress someone? im not making excuses for her just trying to understand why she would do it.
if you think it will do any good talk to her and ask her why she is behaving like this, and tell her it upsets you, but if you feel you cant do that then walk away....i dont think any one would blame you! But make sure in your own mind that what she is doing is deliberate and she isnt genuinely mis understanding you...it would be awful to lose a friend because of a misunderstanding but if she is being a cow...its a 'friend' you dont need! good luck x

Answer 4

Honey I have a southern accent and people used to really make fun of me. It doesn't show as much now as it used to. The person you are talking about doesn't seem much like a friend. Friends laugh with you not at you. If I were you I'd pick someone nicer to be my friend. If you must keep this one talk to her and tell her you don't like that she is making fun of you. She may just be jealous because I think accents are neat.

Answer 5

I had problems with my accent when I moved to a new area several years ago ,Sometimes I would get the odd jibe but I always just laughed it off as I am proud of where I came from anyway .
To make myself easier to understand all I did to change was to slow down when I spoke . This virtually eliminated the issue for me .
Anyone like this "friend" who gets their kicks out of making fun of you is not really worth having as a friend . Just give as good as you get and laugh off jibes , they usually get fed up when you don't rise to the bait or show you are annoyed .
Good luck

Answer 6

she may not realize that she is bothering you by doing this. She could very will think that you guys are good friends so its ok for her to make comments like that. I know you say that she knows how you are with it. But give her a chance. Just remind her again how it makes you feel and if she doesn't apologize or if she persists in acting that way drop the friendship!

Answer 7

Next time she asks you to repeat what you have said tell her to get lost.I am from the North of England we have strong accents of which I am proud of.She is not a good friend,I would drop her.Good Luck

Answer 8

She might be just teasing you to lighten the mood. Maybe you need to politely tell her that it hurts your feelings to have her make fun of your accent. She might know that it bothers you when OTHERS make fun, but maybe she doesn't think it is as hurtful when she does it ?? Communication is a good thing to have in any friendship. Good Luck.

Answer 9

To be truthfully is that a friend?..If she wa she wouldn't make fun of your accent..try talking to her ask her why she's changed..your accent isn't who you are & if she can't see past it is she worth having around as a friend? Maybe you should reconsider your friendship!

Answer 10

Just tell her that it is getting to you maybe she didn't realise how upset you get about it and thought it was a laugh so just say oi leave it out as it ticking me off and if she does it again say see ya!
